nec212 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hello Nexus Community, My question if it can be answered is, "is it legal to use 3D assets from the game Shogun 2 Total War in a non-profit modification for Skyrim?". The reason I ask this (because I've seen some mods get pulled down (not only from skyrim mods) for copyright reasons) is if it is legal, then I would like to make a request of samurai armor, ported from Shogun 2 as I've seen that they have some pretty decent models/textures. The reason i request is because I know there are some talented modders out there that have more time than I, and more experience than I. I have seen this mod which is the best I've seen (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/44547/?). I have also seen a lot of "samurai armor/clothes" mods and a lot of them are just re textured blades armors. Yes i know they're great but you can still tell right? Anyway, just a question for the community, if it is legal then I reckon it would be a great addition to skyrim and I'd like to know before I or someone else wastes time on something that isn't legal. Thoughts? http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/196255-review-total-war-shogun-2/22627SHOGUN2_katana_hero-620x.jpghttp://www.techspot.com/images/products/pc-games/org/2012-03-23-product-6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 My question if it can be answered is, "is it legal to use 3D assets from the game XXXXX In general: no. It is not.There are, however, exceptions to this rule. Some games allow people to take their models and use them for no-profit use. this, however, is something you need to check on you own.(Example: Fable) The reason i request is because I know there are some talented modders out there that have more time than I Doubtful. and more experience than I. You should give it a go! Modding is fun. I have also seen a lot of "samurai armor/clothes" mods and a lot of them are just re textured blades armors. Yes i know they're great but you can still tell right? Well, to be fair: Blades armor are very samurai-like. A slight edit here, a new helmet/mask there, and it's pretty much a set of samurai armor.

nec212 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hey thanks for the reply Matth85, I was thinking pretty much along the same line as your responses. I guess what I really wanted to know was if someone had already tried or was interested. But anyways, I'll try my hand at this as I have a bit of modeling and texturing experience (I made a very cheap Altair Sword a while ago). I got a hold of one of the models in one the screenshots I referenced, but I'll just use it recreate a similar model of higher quality from entirely new geometry. No copy and paste hehe. Do you reckon you could link to some tutorials for how to get armor from Blender into skyrim? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nec212 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hey so I managed to get it into the pose required for rigging (the original mesh to see if this kind of armor can work in skyrim), but I'm absolutely clueless as how to rig it.http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f40/Nec212/samurai_zpsdedc482d.png?t=1416130289(Should this thread be moved out of Mod Requests?
